Does anyone know if Marvel's planning a 2nd printing? I can't find a damn copy anywhere. Driving me crazy.

Yes, they are.
The cover will spoil the ending to the first issue, I belive.

Which page do you think they'll take, Chickrock?
I doubt it'll be the one of Risman and Rahne, but they usually use a full page splash for the second printing cover, yes?

If not that then they might take the bastian page

I figure it will be the Bastion page. Hopefully with a bloody variant :D

Yoshi and podmark, you guys are correct. Thats what it appears to be at the moment.

However, personally, I think its a stupid idea to show that page on the new cover. As doesn't a 2nd printing of an issue cater for those that are unable to get a copy first time round? If so, then that page kinda ruins it for those that haven't read the issue yet...

Or is there another reason for a 2nd printing of an issue, that I'm not aware of?

Right, I think 2nd printings are usually to restock the shelves for the people who didn't get the first time around. But it's always been a spoiler, I think, save for occasions where it's like Storm and lightning (fairly generic, but beautiful to look at).

I remember the Civil War #2 reprint was the splash where Peter had taken the mask off and the cameras were flashing. But I suppose by then, mostly everyone had secured a copy?

Cool. I can't wait to read this.

Generally when the reprint cover is interior art it's of a full page shot which are often spoiler filled. Example the New X-Men 44 reprint with Hellion on Deathstrike's claws.

X-Factor's getting reprinted, too! They showed the covers somewhere, I think comics continuum, but I can't recall exactly where.
